I will substantiate today the thesis I made
in a previous article about the effects of breaking of vows. Vow-breaking is
the working of one’s ‘inner demon’ (see my article “Inner Demon,
Doppelganger”), it is as demonic as any criminal act. Vows pledged to certain
Orders are particularly those that will be dealt with heavy penalty by the
Karmic Board, and the neutralization of effects is something I have no idea
about for now. Let me meditate on that later.

Meantime, just to show to you what the
deleterious effects of vow-breakage can do, let me cite some cases of brethren
of my libertarian-service Order, the Phoenix.
As I said in a previous article, to my own shock, I found out that Leviathan
(Satan, Ahriman, Belzeebub, Anti-Christ) was himself actively involved in
fragmenting Phoenix,
and is likewise doing the same to many fellowship groups here and in other
fallen planets. Right now I see the same pattern happening in the charismatic
fellowship Couples for Christ, and pity this huge brotherhood it is fragmenting
at a time when it has been showing great strides in its social development
campaign (via the socialized housing Gawad Kalinga).

Here are some cases of what’s happening, as
the brethren of Phoenix
are now being engulfed by the most evil of energies from the 7th
Dominion of the Dark Side:

·Jack M. Formerly Grand Premier of the supreme council, late
70s-early 80s. Committed to get active in reviving Phoenix in 1994, promised me not to join the
Free & Accepted Masons. To my shock, he joined masonry, disappeared in Phoenix. And secretly got
involved in gold smuggling overseas, through passenger plane operations….
Result: JM is today suffering from debilitating stroke. Slowly deteriorating,
he’s almost in vegetable state.

·Roger M. Another leading youth Phoenix. Formerly from the chapter for
Philippine School for Business Administration. Committed to be active and help
me in reviving and re-engineering Phoenix
to a grand order. Secretly got involved in overseas smuggling (gold, other
contrabands), with Yakuza partners. He got caught, jailed, then went back home
with brain damage. …Result: Since the mid-90s yet, he was a vegetable for life.
Lucky enough, he’s got a devoted wife to take care of him. He’s till
deteriorating gradually, and worsening by the day. Yet he lives.

·Tony S. One of the originals. Committed to help in re-engineering,
but was half-hearted. Always found reasons not to get involved too much.
Disrespected the innovations that I was introducing to the Order. Till he
dropped out, around the late 90s…. Result: His wife divorced him, c 2001-02.
Past his 50s, as a development professional he can’t get a job above the
coordinator level, which makes him financially average if not troubled. Some
brethren, such as Brod Ronald (his former colleague in a NGO), parted ways with
him, on ideological grounds. At his age, in his own words, he said “hanggang
ngayon wala pang nangyayari sa buhay ko” (till now nothing substantial has
happened to my life). Coming from an intelligent man, who attended the premier
university, what a pity!

·Cesar M. Formerly of UP Diliman chapter, married to Phoenix sister
Annie M. Refused to even attend any of the Phoenix fellowships since after we
met him in Sept. 1994. His wife Annie wished so much to get involved again, but
was blocked by Cesar….Result: Annie began to suffer from debilitating cancer in
the 90s. For almost a decade she suffered. Then, around 2005, she died of the
ailment. Pity on this man, who knows not what he’s doing! I hope he won’t lose
his only daughter, so cute and beautiful like her mother Annie. Or lose his
advertising job, his only fund source.

·Arnel S. Another leading youth Phoenix. Formerly of AdamsonUniversity
chapter. He’s been appearing in past anniversary and other events in 94-98. He
showed enthusiasm to get involved, but always floated the excuse that he was a
family man, was active in civil society (Left), had no time for Phoenix. …Result: Around
the late 90s, his wife suffered from debilitating ailment (apparently cancer).
In one surgery alone, his family had to spend nearly P400,000 which, in the
90s, was a fortune here. I never heard about him again till the 1998
anniversary.

·Jun M. Quite leading brethren, but mentally unstable. Began
suffering from psychosis in mid-80s. Was able to function in his job for a
while, till 1990. Before that, his wife Gina began a long bout with cancer.
We’ve been together in civil society for a time, and he was among those who
joined me to revive Phoenix
in 1994. However, due to his lingering bout with schizophrenia, he couldn’t
keep focus. Only in 1999 did he become active. Did some appreciable tasks. Then
his wife died couples of years back. He’s still dysfunctional job-wise, he can
only do volunteer work and is a bum till now. Lately, he betrayed me and the
Order, put up another group with his factional pals, does not even know the
consequences of his own action. What would you expect? The perennial loser guy.
A jinx to his own family. Living a vicious circle.

·Jim M. The type who’d regard Phoenix
as a mere loose club. Cronyist since we were youth, Jim had this aura of
creating an inner circle even if he superficially relates to brethren. He was
factional in youth, had Attention Deficit Disorder condition, was an
underachiever and phlegmatic in personality. Committed to help me in
re-engineering Phoenix
in 1994. But he was so superficial in his behavior, ‘plastic’ as we called it
in Filipino, his commitment was half-hearted. In the 1990s his own wife, a
feminist leader, divorced him. He was simply unable to make his wife happy.
Even in the new Phoenix
(grand order), he hardly did anything appreciable such as to build a lodge. He
recruited his cronies, and still aspires to build a club of his former activist
cronies. Then, in 2005 he betrayed me, slandered me before a former boss with
whom I departed ways for his group’s incompetence and unwelcoming behavior.
This was the last straw. Already guilty of treachery, this guy never even put
his foot forward to apologize, and instead moved to get his faction out of the Phoenix and is now
building this club of cronies. What will happen next to him is worth observing.

More brethren will die in the coming years,
and chances are that by 2012 all brethren will see deaths to themselves, or
spouse or family member. Add to that the catastrophe of financial collapse,
debilitating mental ailments, or any disaster that would come in ‘surprise’
fashion. Nothing is surprising about their destruction, come to think of it.
They broke vows, broke with Phoenix
like it were some garbage of shit, and what would you expect? They unwittingly
unlocked the 7th-dimension Dark Energy veil!

So, you fellows out there better re-examine
the couples of vows that you may have broken in the past or are about to break.
As to the karmic penalties for the vow breakage, only the Karmic Board can fix
that and revise it with the help of certain Boddhisattvas. Question is, do you
even connect to Boddhisattvas? Do they even figure in your life paradigm? Save
your own souls, fellows. God bless!

Almost everyone experiences fear, among which is the
fear of the Devil. Why not re-examine your behavior, and one time or another
you’d be going through the rituals of demonizing people around you: neighbor,
fellow officesmate, Saddam Hussein, or anybody outside of you who would
exemplify the Demon-incarnate.

Fellows, the demon is right inside of you, so please
don’t over-bother yourself with looking for demons outside of you. True, there
are ‘devils’ (fallen angels, negative aliens of the Reptilian type) and
‘demons’ (interdimensional demented beings) everywhere, but you failed to see
this Inner Demon inside of you. Mind you, we all have this petty demon inside
of us, and it matters how we manage to rise above its dictates on us—through
the Primal Self, or desire-driven pursuits.

Inside of us too is an ‘etheric double’ that looks just
like us. It is our doppelganger, and at times it can disengage from us, show up
elsewhere and materialize right there, looking exactly just like us, and then
moves back to be re-integrated into your physical body. The doppelganger is the
repository of everything negative in us, becomes our ghost when our soul
departs with the astral body, and disintegrates after around 500 years or so.
Our Inner Demon necessarily nestles in the doppelganger, they are One.

Since we all tap Light from above, at varying grades of
intensity (masters and mystics tap the greatest), the question that arises is:
for what purpose do we use that Light? If 51% of the time the Light is used for
Primal pursuits, than chances are that we have become Demonic or moved over to
our Dark Side, ceased to be human, and is a hazardous Thing that moves around
freely.

If at least 51% of the time the Light is used for
service-for-others, loving others, productive pursuits, and constructive
engagements, than we end up more human at the end of our life. Better if 75% of
the time we use the Light or ‘spirit’ for higher purposes, and only 25% or
lower for primal-sinning purposes. This way, we have a chance to evolve a bit
higher, and when we reincarnate at some other time, we will be of a better
quality of being.

What do we do to get this Inner Demon down the drain?
Tough question, fellow Earthan. Should we control our passions, thus ending up
with a tamed Inner Demon? Lucifer taught us that Path before, and it backfired.
I am myself not in frequency with those who use a ‘passion control’ method,
like the Born Again, fundamentalists, and their likes who are, in effect,
wittingly or unwittingly serving Lucifer. Controlling passions will only lead
to our repetitive return in the physical plane without nary a bit of soul
improvement. Lucifer saw the result of his flawed prescription, and he never repented
at all about it. Bad! Arrogant! From a Being of so much Light, a producer of
Light himself, who till the end of his “last breath” was producing Light and
sharing this to His own minions.

The better way is through gradual deprogramming
renunciation. Gradually, deprogram each of your vices (opposite of virtues),
and then consequently build virtues. This is not the same as controlling
passions. On the contrary, if passions strike you while still young, go ahead
and flow with it for a while, and then realizing thereafter that flowing with
the Primal brings you down, then you yourself with rise up above the passions
and flow with the Light or beneficial energies instead.

Remember the story of Mary Magdala? She rode astride
her Inner Demon for some time, both for survival (she has to make a living
through commercial sex) and probably for pleasure (sex, wine, controlling
people were damn good pleasures). Until the World Teacher, Jesus Christ,
arrived in her life and she had this paradigm shift.

Now, do you ever know of any occasion when Jesus
condemned passions the way Lucifer did? “He who hasn’t sinned will cast the
first stone,” was his candid declaration to the folks who wished to condemn a
sex worker & sinner. In that process, the respective Inner Demon of the
folks were projected unconsciously on the sinner, and as a matter of expiation
exercise they would have stoned their own same Inner Demon. And the horror of
it is that another person will die due to their own sinfulness. See?

In some previous writings of mine, I already elaborated
on the matter of deprogramming of vices, building virtues, the use of prayers
and meditations for enhancing divinity, and related spiritual technologies.
They are the ones that are easily applicable and practicable, so I’m
recommending that you examine their efficacy.

Again, fellow Earthans, let me repeat, the more
dangerous Inner Demon is just right inside of you rather than those external
ones. Even if there were 1 Billion demons and devils surrounding you, like they
did to the baby Krishna, if you are vibrating
at higher frequency, are virtuous and possess a strong aura that is truly
protective of your being, then those Evil Ones will never be able to attack nor
destroy you. On the contrary, they would snub you, feeling frustrated and
giving up on their annoying abominations.

So, Dear One, please work out to tame your Inner Demon
and your doppelganger as well. Don’t enslave it as this will certainly lead to
schizophrenia. If you get to that point of manic-depressive disorder, your
Inner Demon-doppelganger will then invite external Evil Ones who will possess
you collectively. It may take another lifetime before the possession will be
corrected and healed. Or, you may end up becoming demonic yourself, and may
take many lives before you attain relative self-integration.

Learn how to dance with your Inner Demon and eventually
tame it, making it conform to your will. It can be done, mind you, yes it can.
The various teachers and masters have demonstrated to us the tools to do them.
Have the will, courage, patience, you will be able to tame this Inner Demon.
May you succeed in this noble task of yours. Carpe diem!

Wednesday, August 10, 2016

At this juncture let me share notes about the
deprogramming of vices and building of virtues as an essential lesson in the
Path. These tasks are one and the same: you will advance in the Path by
building virtues, and building virtues is a matter of deprogramming vices.

You see, a lot of people are not exactly evil, yet you
see them existing here in 3rd Density or 3rd Dimension.
If they aren’t evil, then they must be good people, and so they are saints.
Wrong! Better listen to the late US President Abe Lincoln when he
registered the observation that “a lot of people don’t have vices but they
don’t have virtues either.”

Now, that’s a part of the human condition, nay the
tragedy of human existence. One lives here, isn’t exactly evil and possesses
probably nary a defect that is so gross as to be incapable of unlearning, yet
nary a virtue either to be adjudged as worthy of being counted among the wisest
and most sagely people. That’s why they are called folks: they do not at all
stand above others as to be called ‘extraordinary’ precisely due to their
virtues.

The building of strengths or virtues is incidentally
making waves today among the most urgent traits that ought to be built within the
worksphere. Many management consultancy groups offer team building lessons or
‘social technologies’ that include certain tools about how to deprogram a bad
trait and replace it with a good one. Without realizing it, these experts or
consultants are very close to what the spiritual masters have been working all
along for eons now: of deprogramming vices and building virtues.

So, dear fellows in the Path, if you’d ask me a
question whether it’s alright to employ such tools for your self-development,
my response is a loud Yes. By all means, please go ahead and immerse yourself
in those workshops offered by consulting groups, organized by your company or
employer. Do not put attitudinal barriers into the said practices by saying “I
will only participate here because I’m required to and because it will be good
for my promotion.” Ride the tide, flow with the wind! For failing to do so, the
result would be disastrous: your own anxiety disorder condition may be
reinforced, rendering you one step backward in the Path.

But indeed, before everything else, there must be a
constant realization within your part that you have a long list of bad traits
or ‘vices’ that must be deprogrammed. Failure to engage in that recognition,
and more so stubbornly believing that nothing’s wrong with you, that you’re
near to perfect, would ruin your chances of progressing in the Path.

So, begin by recognizing what those defects are. It’s
so simple a thing to do, and do it by fixing a schedule for the task. You can
do it inside your church, a coffee shop, an eco-park, atop a mountain while
you’re with fellow mountaineers, beside the sea, inside your home, or wherever
you find yourself most comfortable. Your listing can begin by reflecting on
your own observations about yourself. Then, you can proceed to the feedbacks
coming from other people, such as when they remark that you always come to
meetings late. If you are hard up in making self-reflections, then begin right
away with the feedbacks from others.

Now, to ensure that your esteem won’t sag so badly as
the long list of weaknesses might prove unbearable to your psyche, then come up
with a list too of your strengths. Your simple task in life is to maintain
those strengths and even possibly build them up even more. But don’t ever be
shocked to find out that your weaknesses may end up longer than your strengths.
Admit it, that’s life, that’s why we’re here in 3rd Dimension that
is our school for learning.

After determining the list of traits, both for
strengths and weaknesses, then begin a deprogramming schedule for the
weaknesses. This task is no easy thing to do, and please don’t ever brag that
in just a day they will be gone. Bragging itself is a vice, so if you are a
braggart, list this down as a weakness. Many braggarts suffer from Attention
Deficit Disorder and need psychiatric help as a tool to deprogram the trait.

For optimal results, take one (1) month to deprogram a
vice. If you meditate regularly, meditate on the vice for one (1) week, by
asking yourself first why do you possess such a weakness. If you don’t meditate
at all, then use prayer: before sleeping, ask your Guide or Guardian Angel to
give you answers as to why you are, for instance, a braggart. The answer will
come to you intuitively, mind you. For a yogi like me, the answers come in
pictures, like some 1 megapixel photos, flashing before my eyes.

Now, do immediately meditate or pray, right after doing
the diagnostic questioning, by deprogramming the vice. Here would be some tips
to do, whichever of the following practices you wish to use:

·Meditation:
Visualize the vice you possess. Be creative in your visualization. E.g
consummate liar. You can visualize the trait as a huge, bad lizard that harms
people. Deprogram it then by visualizing that the lizard will be neutralized,
or killed. You can visualize an angel coming from higher space, coming down
with an unsheathed sword of Light, and tearing down the lizard to pieces. Do
the visualizations for a week.

·Prayer:
Try to visualize your Guide or Guardian Angel standing in higher space in front
of you, assuring you that He or She is around to help you. Do pray with a
purple-colored candle, as this will help in the ‘healing’ process. Petition the
Almighty I Am Presence, thru the help of your Guide, to deprogram the vice for you.
Improvise on an invocation such as “My Guardian Angel will deprogram my
tardiness for me,” and declare it seven (7) times. Then end with Amen.

After a week of meditation and/or prayer, observe the
results. It would always be best to observe the results in the social sphere,
in environments where people are around. Do this for the next three (3) weeks.
See the results by noting the feedbacks from other people. If you used to be
tardy and come to meeting late, and then your office mates will observe you changing
the pattern, then indeed the vice has been quite deprogrammed. All you need to
do is to sustain this new strength, then move on to the next deprogramming
schedule.

For a vice to be effectively deprogrammed and the
corresponding opposite—virtue—will be built, I would counsel strongly that you
only take one trait at a time. Do not mix up two or more ‘evils’ and force a
deprogramming of them altogether. Note the term ‘force’ there: you are indeed
hurrying up too much by mixing up traits altogether. Remember that your
Unconscious Mind, which is the repository of the traits, has its own
complexity. It is best to get the cooperation of your Unconscious by working on
a trait one at a time.

As to the observable or ‘visible vices’ such as
smoking, licentious sex, gambiing, doping, and shopaholic behavior, do the same
procedure. But assign a longer time frame for these ones. They may be caused by
childhood fixations and traumas, so it may take a bit more time to deprogram
them. I used to smoke a lot, and I found out from my own mother that it only
took a short time to breast-feed me as I was lactose-sensitive (I had to be
bottle-fed with soya milk). So, knowing my psychoanalysis fairly well, I
realized that my smoking has a great deal to do with the breastfeeding
deprivation, that smoking was compensatory for this unconscious lack of an
essential maternal provision.

I kept on quitting smoking since young adult age, and
only got to quit it in the late 1990s as I already suffered from the following
by then: asthma, chronic tonsillitis/throat infections, sinusitis &
allergic rhinitis. My ‘mother body’, nay Mother Nature was telling me to please
quit smoking as this is a gross disrespect to my physical body that is the
vehicle of my very soul. In 1993 I even underwent tonsillectomy, but despite
this surgery I went back to smoking. Nicotine had a good way of keeping me
awake and the habit made my astral body a bit thicker instantly, and I was
getting to be more sensitive that year as my mystical awakening was fast unfolding….
Till I finally quit.

Do note that a lot of these vices were acquired via
past life learning experiences, so it isn’t that easy to unlearn them and
replace them with strengths. As to which lifetime did you acquire them, don’t
worry about the matter too much. Leave that to your Inner Guide or Guides, who
see you from a higher dimension. If in case that other people during those
lives may have been involved in learning the bad attitude or trait, then add in
the deprogramming a forgiveness of those people even if you don’t know who they
were. Just trust that the message will reach God Almighty, and this can
accelerate the healing process.

Successfully deprogramming vices one after the other
and replacing them with corresponding virtues is like winning a war. It is in
fact a war against your own Primal Self. Every time you win, you gain more
merits in life and move ahead in the Path. Even in your career and/or business
you will succeed all the more. Those who succeeded the most financially are, as
per result of researches, precisely those people who have greater insights
about their own weaknesses and strengths compared to others. Read thru Jim
Dornan, Robert Kiyosaki and John Maxwell who are among top gurus of financial
success today, and you will hear the same things as I tell you now:
self-insight leads to greater financial success.

So Fellows in the Path, learn from the gurus of
success. But most of all, do work out to practice those tools and turning
yourselves into jewels of exemplary behavior. It can be done, believe it. Amen.

With certitude I’d reckon that you dream every time
your body sleeps. And if thou art Seeker indeed, your dreams are colored in hue
most often. Evolutionary Laggards dream in black & white and wouldn’t dream
as often as seekers and mystics. As a soul advances in the evolutionary path,
so does the access to higher vibratory climes increase, such climes thereby
appearing in ever greater colorful textures in dreams.

Do make it a habit to keep tab of your dreams, Seeker.
At least keep a memory tab, at most maintain a daily dream journal. Dreams
reveal so much about our unconscious and superconscious states, we can’t afford
to throw away this ‘tool’ of self-reflection into dustbins just like trash.
Were it not for our problems of retrieval, which is a matter of short-term
memory, our dreams could be total guides to our daily actions and
routines.

Interpreting dreams, however, is no layman’s task. So,
Noble One, please learn to interpret dreams with a modicum of mastery. In
ancient language, the term exegesis was used to refer to the
interpretation of texts, and exegete refers to the interpreter. Since
symbolic templates of life today are regarded as text in hermeneutics (art of
exegesis) and semiotics (science of signs), then it pays to be an exegete in
various respects: dream interpretation, exegesis of myths, interpretation of
body language, divination interpretations (e.g. tarot, palmistry, numerology,
astrology, runes, I ching), etc.

Necessarily, one must learn from the masters of
hermeneutics and semiotics to be able to interpret dreams with some degree of
accuracy. It takes some time to learn, but it is a rewarding thing to do
exegesis. Rest assured you will procure the greatest benefits from the exegetic
process, and you’ll feel a deep sense of satisfaction, sometimes euphoria,
every time you’re able to crack the codes behind the deeply coded messages in
your dreams.

To name a few representative masters: Carl Jung,
Sigmund Freud, Mircea Eliade, Claude Levi Strauss, Umberto Eco among social
scientists and philosophers; and, the theosophists H.P Blavatsky, Annie
Bessant. You can also review materials coming from popular literature about
dreams such as those written by psychics.

In sum, the said experts have contended that the
figures one sees in dreams, myths, and cultural symbols (e.g. totem) must be
regarded as archetypes. As Eliade clarified, an archetype is a basic
structure. In Eco’s semiotics, an archetype is a signifier—a representation of
a deeper meaning or structure, the signified. Exegesis basically entails an
appropriate unlocking of the signified meanings hidden behind the dream
symbols, in the case of dreams.

Note also that the contents of dreams are often related
to the dreamer’s experiences in the lifeworld. For instance, when an ice cream
appears in one’s dream, this symbol appears on account of the person’s
experiencing of eating ice cream. This archetypal subject wouldn’t likely
appear in the dream scenes of a person whose entire life is spent in
hinterlands where ice cream isn’t an established fact of daily life.

Dream themes could be a revelation of the following:
unfulfilled wishes, ailments that are about to surface, past life scenes being
replayed from ‘above’, events forthcoming in the next few days in the person’s
life (dejavu), prophecies about one’s country or planet, and lessons from one’s
Spirit Guide. Freud made very interesting contributions to first two forms (he
was keen most of all on mental ailments being a psychiatrist).

The lessons or messages from one’s own Spirit Guide or
inner space guru is what you the Seeker should be on the alert for as a sign
that you are about to enter the Path. Or, when you have already began the
ascent to the Path, the Guide can show signs that you have just graduated from
one stage or phase in the journey and you’re about to move on to a next phase.
Usually it takes seven (7) years to begin and end a phase, though if one
chooses to stop for a while in one’s lessons the period could be extended.

In my experience, I first began to feel that something
uncommon was going to happen to my life when, as a pre-school child, I strongly
felt the presence of a mighty divine being, a figure I’d recognize later as the
Archangel Michael. His assuring presence (maybe I was networked to his
‘department’) made me take routes less traveled, such as to dream of becoming a
priest, knowing that God always watches me.

Before reaching the age of ten (10) I realized how
different I was from my siblings. I was overly contemplative, introspective,
and nerdy at an early age. And somehow, deep inside me, I knew I wasn’t among
the Earth’s people. The daily course of materialistic life that I encountered
early enough shocked me so much that I longed to enter the seminary and say
goodbye to normal life.

My dreams were very colored in hue, so colored that the
dream objects were so real, beginning in early childhood years. Even the smell
of dream objects, like the smell of delicacies, grasses and flowers in the
fields, and animal dung were all so real, further multiplying the psychic and
emotional powers of the dream scenes.

It was at age 18 when I first encountered my mahaguru,
the Master El Morya, while in a dream state. I was already a 2nd
year university student then. I wished somebody else so wise and divine could
explain to me so many questions that the church people and mediocre spiritual
pretenders couldn’t explain at all, and were it not for the timely appearance
of my guru, I could have moved on to become an atheist for the rest of my life.

I thought it was God who appeared to me in the dream,
as He blasted me with feelings of love so incomparably overwhelmingly,
encompassing and ecstatic. He gave me a lengthy message of love, encouragement,
and note about my future missions. I woke up weeping with joy and euphoria,
assured at last that a Divine Being takes care of me personally. From then on,
I intensified my lessons in the Path, reading voraciously a diversity of
topics, to wit: esoteric philosophy, yoga, ETs & UFOs, mystical science,
eastern psychology, paranormal science, theology and comparative religion.

From that time on, my mahaguru would appear every now
and then in my dreams. He guided me to the materials that I should read, made
me encounter my first yoga lessons right inside the classroom, meet interesting
people who were also fellow seekers, and so on. With the passing of time, I
recognized my great Guru as the Ascended Master El Morya, chohan (sort of CEO)
of the 1st Ray of the Great White Brotherhood. In the succeeding
dreams, he would appear more in archetypal form (often as a university
professor), while I would perceive his face directly as my mystical vision
opened due to yoga practice.

I’ve already entered several phases in my journey. And
in 1994 I graduated to a mystic level, no longer seeker but finally reaching
the initial ‘end of a journey’, when the Filipino guru F.F. sponsored me into
the Great White Brotherhood. My seeker phase had ended, but my mystical path
just began then. I still kept on seeing my master in my dreams, with the
addition of other masters in couples of other dream scenes thereafter.

Just recently, more than a month ago, I dreamt of my
guru again, instructing me in many lessons. The dream scenes lasted for three
(3) hours. Some other fellow mystics were there with me during a dream phase.
In other dream phases other masters appeared. I just received lessons that
could last for over 1 year’s study, offered in just a single moment, which I
must gradually retrieve from my memory.

So, Noble One, similar experiences could happen to you.
You see, if you dream of your Spirit Guide offering you lessons, even when you
wake up to urinate, the moment you go back to sleep the same dream scene will
be continued. Or, there would be another scene, but it will till be the Guide
offering you lessons that will be the dream theme.

Take note that during the initial encounters with your
Guide, your guru may not appear to you in literal form. Rather, the
manifestation would be archetypal, e.g. beautiful large sheep radiating light
and peace to you. Or, the Guide could appear as your deceased Grandma or
Grandpa whom you cared for so much, so the Guide will make use of your
grandparent’s image to bring messages to you.

I recalled the narrative of a fraternity brother of
mine, Glen B., whom I personally initiated into my wisdom brotherhood, the
C.L.. He revealed to me and some brods one day that I appeared to him in a
dream, offering him sublime lessons. I was so elated at his narration, and told
him that it was his very own Guide and not me who actually appeared in his
dream. I was happy because it was a sign that, as a mentor, I succeeded in
catalyzing the link between a young seeker and his Guide.

That sounds like a tall order of a command.
It really is no command but a task, a lifelong task. It fused together ‘know’
and ‘self’, the task being to ‘know the self’ in its totality.

Self-knowledge is knowledge of a very high
order. This we mystics are very much aware of. We regard self-discovery as the
last frontier, the frontier of ‘inner space’. To be able to make adventures in
‘inner space’ and discover truths along the way is the very task of a seeker or
knower.

To take it for granted that you already
know yourself, or pretend that you know yourself 105%, is pure hubris. On the
other hand, to be so disabled from knowing the self, so much that you cannot
even think of qualities that indicate your personality and level of
psychological integration, is a mark of deep fragmentation and disorder. Both
tendencies must be discarded.

It pays to know the self. Today’s gurus of
success are very right in their contention that persons who have greater
insights about themselves get to become more successful than those who don’t.
Robert Kiyosaki and John Maxwell, who are on top of this chain of success
gurus, have declared this contention very explicitly and kept on re-echoing it
in their various writings.

Know the self well, as this is the way to a
more successful future. This is another way of writing the formula. To put it
in mathematical language:

Success = fn (self-insight)

Success = A + B X (Self-insight)

Where A = Goals in life

B= Pace of acknowledgement and absorption
of self-insight

The Teaching is so filled with methods for
self-insight, methods and information that past gurus have already shared to
the world. You can go ahead and study them well.

Take a look at astrology and numerology.
They are examples of methods for self-analysis and insight devised by masters
in antiquity. It pays to study them well. The better if you do the study
yourself rather than rely all the time on an external agent (numerologist,
astrologer) to do the analysis for you. There are information packages that
would be best for you to find out for yourself, as you derive the information
intuitively.

As a young yogi in the making, I did study
numerology and practice its analytical powers on myself and my former students
(1980s, 90s). Numerology, using the combined Pythagorean-Chaldean methods,
worked so wondrously that each person done with a reading exclaimed their
mighty accuracy of up to 90% most often. The lowest self-assessment I received
for efficacy was 80%, with 20% error. The highest was at 95%. That high
precision renders numerology into a great scientific tool!

Learn as many methods as you can. Study
Jung, Freud, Maslow, Erikson, and other personality psychologists. Study also
the methods for examining abnormal psychology, so that you will have an
advanced method of self-integration assessment. Nobody is perfect, each one of
us has degrees of personal fragmentation that’s why we’re here in the physical
plane. So please take pains to study the methods and even undergo psychological
tests from time to time. This is for your own good.

The last thing expected of you is to
declare that you’re perfect okay and other people are very defective. If you
make this self-claim, please see a psychiatrist as you delude yourself with
grandiose states. You may need to be locked up in an institution, the better
for you. Amen.

Let me articulate at this juncture the last
of the 7Ray Lessons that I wish to stress: Serve God and His
Creations! I will begin with some reflective notes on the sociological ‘law of reciprocity’
which the masters made known to us through the ‘golden rule’. I will
incorporate in the discourse the reflective notes on libertosophy that I
elaborated in my book Libertosophy and Freethought: The Path of Illumination
for Libertarian Freethinkers.

Sociologists and anthropologists alike
discovered the ‘law of reciprocity’ across cultures. In philosophical sense,
this law is an axiological standard and is at the core of ethical teachings. On
the positive sense, it is stated: “Do for others what you want others to do for
you.” In the negative sense, it is stated: “Do not do unto others what you
don’t want others to do unto you.”

In libertosophy, I outlined three core
principles regarding the liberation project: (1) to be able to attain
liberation, one must liberate others; (2) only the free can set other people
free; and, (3) liberation must be done within the context of the social world
(never in isolation from people). They are all inter-connected and mutually
reinforcing.

The Teaching is clear that one must
practice yoga (union) and attain union by (1) immersing in the social world,
(2) observing mutual devotion with your fellows, and (3) doing mutual service
unto each other. In no way should one opt to attain nirvana via a total
detachment, by meditating inside caves, by retiring in monasteries early in
life for successive lives, by a prayerful attitude and yet manifesting
anti-social behavior towards fellows. Only under exceptional cases should one
do yoga in isolation, such as when one has been exhausted due to over-immersion
in the social world for successive lives. In which case, one will be allowed to
meditate in isolation by your Mahaguru (e.g. Christ) for an incarnation or two.

But after some times in isolation, your
Mahaguru will again remind you to go back to the social world or ‘lifeworld’.
At the minimum, one might be allowed semi-isolation, through a monastic life,
in which case one is in the company of a group and can then conduct service
with a team of monks. At the maximum, one must immerse fully “with the crowd”,
practice a profession or business for a while, and then retire early so as to
do the work of a Teacher. Another option would be, based on good karma in past
embodiments, to incarnate you in a wealthy family so that you need not have to
work for a living. For the latter experience, you as an advanced yogi-mystic
can catalyze your ascent to Master status and become a Teacher early in life,
such as Paramahansa Yogananda and his teacher Sri Yutekswar Giri, both of whom
came from wealthy families.

Among the current gurus of financial
success is Robert Kiyosaki, writer of best-selling Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
In his books, Kiyosaki emphatically reiterated the need to do service unto
others, by sharing your graces to others. He said succinctly that “the more you
give, the more you receive.” Without need to mention, the trait of stinginess
speaks of negative backlash. But very graphically, Kiyosaki did stress the
dangers of becoming greedy as this would lead to disasters in one’s financial
life. Though Kiyosaki is no yogi, couples of core wisdom lessons were
articulated by him that reverberate the wisdom of the ancient masters.

Let it be clarified that there is not one
fixed form of service. The 6th Ray gets manifested in diverse forms.
By praying for others, whether singly or as a team, one does service to others.
By extending financial gains to the less fortunate ones such as the clients of
a hospice, one does service. By doing relief works for those affected by
calamities, one does service. By washing the feet of priests during special
occasions, even if such priests are dogmatic and sinful, one does service. Who
is without sin anyway? “He who is without sin will cast the first stone,”
declared Jesus Christ.

In the emerging contexts, service as a
manifestation of deeply divine principles has been steadily increasing. So
powerful is the subtle force behind the 6th Ray that even capitalism
itself has been transformed from the greedy money-bag capitalism of
yesteryears, which has no moral philosophy whatsoever, to that of ‘corporate
social responsibility’ capitalism or ‘compassionate capitalism’. Many young
executives are turned off by purely money-making concerns, even as some other
top echelon executives demand that, prior to their appointment as CEO of a huge
conglomerate, CSR must be considered first and foremost. The noble CEO Mr.
Licuanan, who steered the Ayala Group for sixteen (16) years, whose leadership
led the said conglomerate to grow to multinational scale, made such a demand on
the corporate patriarch Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala who empathically listened to
him and granted his demand. Look at the enormous stride in the growth of the
Ayala Group with CSR at its core principle of operations, which has diversified
its investments from Manila
to overseas.

Many other young executives, fresh from
MBA, choose to shy away from the corporate world altogether. Rather, they opt
to serve the NGO sector, or the Non-Profit Associations. In a recent research
conducted by me lately about international consulting think-tanks, I was amazed
at the trebling of numbers of such young executives who serve international aid
organizations and non-profit think-tanks, risking their lives in the poor
regions of the emerging markets. This trend is bound to grow exponentially as
the years go by, rest assured.

Furthermore, there are also businesses
whose nature is to help others in their financial lives. Among these
enterprises, network marketing is the fastest growing form. It is among the
least understood enterprises, because people are fixed to the old ideas of
doing business: pure old capitalistic profit-seeking. Per my own research,
network marketing socializes teams of marketers to help out each other, via the
adage “the rising tide will lift everybody up.” The members of a team can’t
afford to claw at each other like crabs, for the demise of one could redound to
the demise of the entire group. The team members observe the lesson that you
must help yourself first, and when you gain profits than you can have the extra
income to help the less fortunate. It makes a lot of sense, this network
marketing.

It surely pays to listen to the new gurus
of success including those who brought network marketing to maturity such as
Jim Dornan of Network 21. They first of all stressed on the power of the team
approach, and the norm of helping each other out. In the process, network
marketing and related modalities are very potent at deconstructing the ‘crab
mentality’ in the lifeworld. Converging with CSR at some junctures, the new
modalities for ‘compassionate capitalism’ may lead to some other modalities in
the future, and reformat the world from old-world capitalism to altruistic or
‘community economy’ within a broad context of Information Society.

Understood in another sense, the lessons
say “do not hoard what you have, learn to be self-sufficient but when resources
permit, share your blessings to others.” Among the various thinkers in the
scientific community, it was the Erich Fromm who discoursed on the dangers of
the principle of hoarding. He articulated this well in his books, such as the Art
of Loving. Hoarding is among the counterproductive traits, and the greater
we hoard in life the more we become objectified or depersonalized. Liberation
becomes expressed, among other things, in more productive behavior such as
loving, sharing, or those related to “being” that make us all more ‘human’ in
the process.

The creation of a ‘compassionate society’
has been the obsession of many thinkers particularly those on the Left. “Serve
the People!” declared Mao Zedong, who secretly was an engaged seeker and was no
atheist. This society, in their mind, should also be a ‘rational society’, so
that the cognitive principles of ‘rationality’ should harmonize with the
non-rational axiological principles or value-based rules. They envisioned
integrated societies, where the detached rationality of modernity would
harmonize rather than clash with the value-based axioms of the ethicists and
spiritual masters.

At this point, let me stress the narrative
of Mother Theresa of contemporary India. This great soul is the
exemplar of a saint or master who ascended to the level of a Mahatma or
Ascended Master via the Path of Service. It pays to contemplate and meditate on
her wisdom adages regarding service and love. She counseled us all to do
service no matter what response (indifference or sympathy) would be exhibited
by the recipient of your altruism. Even if the recipient hates or scorns you
for your behavior, love and serve them just the same, quipped this indubitably
holy being. No wonder that she won a Ramon Magsaysay Award (Asia’s
Nobel prize) for service, which she truly deserves.

We sorely need the likes of Mahatma Theresa
today, and we miss her so much. But we need not worry much, as her likes left the
world with large cadres of Godly servants who are referred today as
Lightworkers. The increasing presence and influence of the Lightworkers is
changing the social landscape of the planet. Every institution of society will
more or less be transformed in the decades ahead, as the numbers of
Lightworkers increase all the more and their altruism becomes the sacrosanct
standard behavior.

One last point that I need to stress is the
distinction between the “service-for-self” and “service-for-others”. Because altruistic
service had become pervasive for the last successive decades, there are those
hoarding-oriented or egotistical types who rode the wave by exhibiting
“service-for-self” behavior. In this case, one does service so as to be noticed
by others. It isn’t serving others due to a “call of the heart” but rather due
to selfish pursuits. It is service that won’t allow you to ascend for sure.

After our periodic conduct of service, it
would be fruitful if we meditate on the service that we have delivered. We can
make self-assessments whether the service is egotistical or altruistic. It
would also be great if some sensitive souls among our fellows (seekers,
mystics, masters) would help us in our self-assessments. It should be the job
of a spiritual Teacher to be a seeker’s mirror or feedback-giver and
self-development counselor, but with the reality that we have a scarcity of
teachers this option is equally scarce. If one is already well connected to
one’s Inner Guide, then the guide can be a surrogate for the teacher and can
share the feedback through dreams or intuitive thoughts.

To conclude, let us all be like Mahatma
Theresa, and let’s hasten the construction of the ‘compassionate society’. Let
us serve God, our Fellows, Mother Nature and her biological endowments, and
show the greatest respect for all life forms around us including minerals. Who
knows, the 6th Ray could be the last lingering alchemical agent that
could make one ascend to the next level of soul evolution. Try it, amid risk,
for God Almighty provides the blessings in your Path and protects you along The
Way.

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

In this article, I will stress the need for
filling up another important ‘glass’ in one’s Path: the ‘glass of Will’. As I
have repeatedly echoed in previous articles, faith alone does not suffice to
make one ascend the Path towards liberation or salvation. One must fill up
other ‘glasses’ of life as well, one of which is the ‘glass of will’.

If life were likened to war, then one must
have both lance & sword to be able to gain mileage in many battles to
fight. This kill weaponry tandem is equivalent to the Will, a trait that one
can’t do without in life. It is Will that keeps one moving in life, and so is
it Will that will propel one to climb the Heights of inner transformation. For
it is truly a matter of climbing mountains, this task of moving ahead in the
Path.

The need for Will-bearers in society led
the Hierarchs to evolve a particular class of humans to perform this role: the
Warrior or ksattriya class. From among the warriors came a special class, the
King, who wasn’t only endowed with Will but was also with extraordinary occult
powers like unto the shamans’ or magicians’. The Warrior class, being the
embodiment of Will, became the models for developing the traits that were
subsidiary to a strong Will.

Weak will leads to stagnation and death,
while strong will leads to greater life and liberation. Subsidiary to Will are
the following traits: Courage, Audacity, Decisiveness, Self-Determination, and
Organizational Ability. Without these traits, human society will flounder and
self-destruct. Mutual faith/devotion is as good a pasting material as we can
ever imagine, but without Will to enforce the norms of mutual devotion, human
associations will self-destruct and society fragment altogether.

Gone may be the Warrior as a class, but in
its stead had evolved the ‘Leader Class’. In all sectors of society, there is
that high expectation to exercise leadership. Necessarily, the exercise of
leadership would require leaders. In political society, we have the Political
Class as a subclass of the Leader Class. In the military/police organizations,
there is the Officers’ Corps. Among the various professions, we have the
Executive Class. Among civil society groups, there is the Mass Leader. Within
the Priesthood, there are the Bishops, Patriarchs, and Imams.

There simply isn’t any sector today that
doesn’t manifest a need for leaders. And no one sector will ever enforce a
lesson of “be weak, remain lowly and weakly in esteem, for thou art of the
weakest types.” No Sir, the lesson is for one to follow the leaders and, in due
time, for one to emerge among the leadership of the organization, group, or
sector. And various discourses have emerged to articulate the need for
leadership, the traits of a leader, the concomitant need for organization, and
determination as a core ingredient in achieving success in business,
professional life, and financial life.

Warriorship—and the Kingly class that it
spawned—was originally a response to the need for Rulership. The Rulership
principle, being a universal/cosmic principle, must be forged in all the
dimensions of human life. Rulership begins first of all with one’s individual
life: one must be Ruler unto one’s Self. The philosophers Plato and Aristotle were
so adroit at their observation of this principle, that both contended for the
need to be King unto one’s Self without reserve. Without the capability to be
King unto one’s self, it will be futile to be King or leader unto others.

Rulership then moves on to the lifeworld,
where the need for leadership and role models among diverse “In-groups” must be
exhibited. Sociologists have done enormous studies on the lifeworld, using the
scientific tools of sociometrics to examine the elements of social distance and
leadership. Max Weber theorized about the ideal types of authority to explicate
leadership types in various contexts: traditional, charismatic, rational-legal.
The principles and elements discovered and articulated by sociologists
eventually overflowed into the new science of management.

Within the context of formal organizations,
the principles and practice of management have already developed to a very
highly complex, sophisticated level today. In the evolving context of
Information Society, new principles are being innovated on which were largely
absent during the time of Weber, Taylor and Fayol, the fathers of the science
of bureaucracy. Ouichi’s Theory Z, for instance, elaborates on the trend
towards more decentralized, autonomous, participative leaderships. The
excitement in the sciences of organization and management is a never ending
story, and I myself wish to continuously get updated about them as a
sociologist and practitioner of organizations and institution-building.

Onwards to the highest levels of expression
of social organization, the need for Rulership remains invariable although the
forms for those at the national, regional and global/international ones do
manifest their own peculiarity. At this juncture, we have reached the point
where the need for a global state has become irreversible, and sooner or later
we will have such a polity at hand. ‘Political Will’ shall then be exercised
with greater resolve, and international fiats executed with more teeth than
before. Otherwise, in this continuing situation of ‘anarchy of nation-states’,
we might end up blowing each other apart and destroying the planet through
weapons of mass destruction due to our stubborn intolerance towards
differences.

So, as one can see from above, it is
sacrosanct an expectation to develop Will and its subsidiary traits to be able
to climb the Heights to the ‘mountain of salvation’. To be able to forge a
strong Will requires intense studies on the subject, intense focus on modeling
one’s behavior from the mentors of Strong Will (executives, leaders of
professions, high political leaders, etc), and practicing leadership in real
life contexts when opportunities for such present themselves. One must also
develop the sharpness at recognizing when a context is filled with opportunities
for exercising leadership. In both normal and contingent situations, such
opportunities present themselves.

As to the study of the subject, it pays to
get some formal studies on leadership, organization and management in whatever
form. Even when one had already accomplished a program degree or special course
on leadership, one must go on and continuously update oneself about new
developments in the field. As many leaders (officials, managers, supervisors)
have found out, refresher courses make such strong dent that the practitioner
gets to be reminded of both flaws and appropriateness in one’s supervisory
behavior after a management workshop.

It is also very enlightening to do
self-assessments about one’s own weaknesses and strengths regarding Rulership
or leadership principles and practice. Many of the weaknesses and strengths are
results of one’s own socializations in previous lives which overflow into the
present embodiment. Some others are results of socialization processes in the
present embodiment. The lesson, which the 2nd Ray shares unto us in
our learnings of the 1st Ray, is to sustain our strengths and
overcome our weaknesses.

Overcoming weaknesses, through diverse
methods of learning and unlearning, is no easy process. But it is a possible
undertaking nonetheless. Overcoming the Fear complex is at the core of ironing
out weaknesses, and this begins with identifying one’s various fears. A listing
of fears could result to a long list, and one should better be honest about
them. Honesty about fears will facilitate one’s unlearning of the said traits,
while dishonesty will only lead to possible scorn from observers. No one can
ever fake Will when one lacks them in certain contexts, since other people are
there to observe you. So better be honest, recognize your weaknesses and
gradually work out to deprogram them.

Those fears that are learned complexes from
out of traumas in life, both past and present embodiments, are the hardest to
unlearn. For instance, the habit of obese eating, which could make one mightily
overweight, could be traced to a previous life of starvation and death. And so,
in this present life, the unconscious fear of starvation leads to indulgent
eating habits and obsessive food storage. Therefore, no matter what weight reduction
and slimming programs one goes through, the same obese habits would come back
and weight lose efforts fail. One must then go through a healing process to be
able to solve the problem.

As already mentioned in the previous
articles, self-development tools and applications are exploding today.
Addressing Rulership-related problems can gain much headway from using such
tools. What I wish to emphasize here is for you to add the tool of yoga
meditation (and prayers too) to unlock the causes of fears and related problems
and take out the dense energies from one’s Unconscious Self. If the fear
complex is very deep-seated, schedule at least a week to meditate on a
particular fear trait. If the fear complex borders the abnormal or
dysfunctional, then better consult a psychiatrist in addition to practicing
meditation and prayers.

In my own experience, joining the radical
mass movement, at a time of Martial Law, demolished my wimpy or low risk-taking
attitude. At age 19 I was initiated via the ‘baptism of fire’, by being posted
at the frontline of an Anti-Dictatorship protest rally in Manila’s Rizal Avenue, and was cruelly truncheoned
by cops. I admittedly almost urinated with fear and terror on that occasion.
But things changed as I joined and led mobilizations against the dictatorship
and post-dictatorship regimes. By the time I became a national leader of civil
society groups, I no longer had the goose bumps when I faced cops in protest
rallies. Many of my warrior traits acquired in previous embodiments that remained
dormant in my Unconscious were released along the way, strengths that have
since been with me as professional and leader.

Not only that, even my disdain for cops
disappeared, a disdain that developed during the terror times of Marial Law
(1972-86). I was already a yogi and mystic in the mid-90s when I led national
mobilizations by teachers against unjust economic and educational policies. At
that time, when I looked at the cops in front of my mass formation, I could
only see people who were doing their own duties, many of whom feared the mass
in front of them. Yoga had changed the way I look at duty. I hope that both the
activists and cops learn to meditate and face each other as people doing their
own duties respectively.

For a final recommendation, please don’t
miss out on the Bhagavad-Gita among your readings on leadership and
organization. The sublime thoughts of Sri Krishna are compressed in this book.
It is one exquisite piece that integrates High Wisdom into the practice of
warriorship. It begins with being possibly struck by the ailment of
indecisiveness while one is already in the midst of battles, and what wisdom
lessons to practice to overcome the ailment and win the war eventually. The
lesson says: win the war within one’s self first, in order to win the greater
war ahead of you. What discourse can possibly deconstruct such a recondite
principle, if ever?
